Reopening in May 2016.

The Barclay's bus terminal-sized lobby has a Neo-Federalist feel, complete with gray and white marble floors and copper-filigreed lighted-glass panels on the ceiling. With such beautiful design elements, this doesn't feel like a typical business-friendly hotel, yet suits steadily file in and out, likely making use of the 15,000 sq. ft. of meeting space including two ballrooms and five meeting spaces, audio-visual equipment and office support services. Of course, the 673 room, 31 suite hotel welcomes guests of all stripes, providing them with ample amenities: A full fitness center, audio/visual library, and high-speed Internet access are available, though the extremely large, extremely comfy beds seem the best loved of all. — E.

Pros

The Gin Parlour located to the side of the lobby is a scene all its own during after-work hours.

Cons With all the business travelers, the hotel can feel very busy—and according to some vacationers, the not-so-personable staff doesn't make stays that much more relaxing.

WeddingsFor 80 years, the Barclay has specialized in customizing weddings to fit the bride and groom’s vision in its 2,500-square-foot window-lined ballroom overlooking 49th Street.
